And through the course of the interview, Rajiv Bajaj, a confidant of Congress’ senior chief Rahul Gandhi, got here throughout to be fairly displeased with the central authorities.

Restating his earlier views on the COVID-19 lockdown, Bajaj mentioned: “There was no need for the government to completely lock up such a young and relatively healthy country. They should’ve adopted a more calibrated and customised approach.”
For these uninitiated, Rajiv Bajaj had earlier, in an interview, he partook with him bosom pal Rahul Gandhi, known as the lockdown imposed in India to regulate the pandemic as a “draconian” measure which ended up damaging the economic system. According to Bajaj, the coronavirus lockdown had flattened the unsuitable curve, that’s GDP, and hadn’t actually been profitable in containing the virus.
Amusingly, per week after Bajaj had known as the lockdown positioned by the federal government resulting from lethal coronavirus pandemic as “draconian lockdown” claiming that it might injury the economic system, his firm had recorded highest-ever month-to-month sale.
During the course of the interview, Rajiv Bajaj, a lot to the likes of his ally, belittled the Indian-developed COVID-19 vaccines saying that for him the dangers associated to the Indian vaccine outweigh its advantages. “Between being for or against the vaccine, I believe t here is a middle path where you ask yourself, do the risks outweigh the benefits? For someone like me, I believe they do”, says Rajiv Bajaj, insinuating that the Indian vaccines usually are not protected because it has been hurriedly ‘pushed’ in a years time.

Bajaj claims that as an alternative of choosing the vaccine he quite be contaminated with the pathogen, because it solely causes an increase in physique temperature and few different gentle signs like physique ache. To this, the NDTV journo Sreenivas Jain is heard saying that Bajaj is speaking about taking an enormous threat. “Though the Indian vaccine is 99% safe, there is always a risk of 1-2%, where cases turn critical or even fatal”, mentioned Jain, to which Bajaj replies, “well, that this is the risk I take every time I step on to the Indian roads, which has the dubious distinction in road fatalities worldwide”, taking a sly dig on the street situation of India.
Questioned on the 2021 Union Budget, the Indian entrepreneur says that in his 30 years of his profession, he has by no means heard the funds. One wonders right here, then what made NDTV take into account Bajaj appropriate to offer ‘expert’ feedback on the Budget and India’s economic system.
Speaking on the report gross sales his firm made within the third quarter of FY21, the businessman owed it to the abroad gross sales and mentioned it had nothing to do with the “good or poor state of the economy of India”.

With Rajiv Bajaj’s political inclinations obvious, these pessimistic and demoralized opinions in regards to the Modi authorities is no surprise, however what’s past perception is that in his excessive hate for Modi, Bajaj doesn’t even hesitate to lie and unfold falsehood, falsifying the picture of India amongst different nations.
